The Effect of Stable Stratification on Turbulence Anisotropy in Uniformly Sheared Flow

Direct numerical simulation of uniform shear flow is used to study the anisotropy of fluctuating motion in a stably stratified medium with uniform mean shear. Turbulence is found to be three dimensional over a wjde range of gradient Richardson numbers in the two Bows investigated here: vertical mean shear ($$-) and horizontal mean shear (g). The role of the turbulent F’roude number in establish...

Model dynamics and vertical collapse in decaying strongly stratified flows

Recent laboratory experiments with decaying strongly stratified grid turbulence at moderate Reynolds numbers reveal remarkable behavior. These experiments document the evolution of an initial sea of columnar dipole vortex pairs with dominant vertical vorticity to stratified ‘‘pancake’’ vortex sheets with dominant horizontal vorticity, together with a concurrent dominance of vertical dissipation...

Numerical experiments on strongly stratified homogeneous shear turbulence

Turbulence in strongly stable density stratification is a common phenomenon in atmosphere and in oceans and other large water bodies. Stably and strongly stratified turbulence have been studied in many experimental and numerical studies. A characteristic feature of strongly stratified turbulence observed in several studies is the formation of quasi-horizontal layers. During the last decade, the...

Turbulence Modeling in Stratified Flows Subject to Advective Buoyancy Fluxes

The goal of this work is to examine in detail how turbulence evolves in the presence of both vertical stratification and horizontal (straining) buoyancy fluxes. Horizontal density gradients are a ubiquitous feature of estuarine and coastal flows, as are sheared velocity profiles. The combination of these two features produces a buoyancy flux which can be either stabilizing or destabilizing, dep...
